Chu Yuqin and Lin Wanyun both walked out of the Yunrong Courtyard at the same time, each appearing somewhat awkward and unsure of what to say.
Although Chu Yuqin had long guessed that Lu Chen had thoroughly conquered Chen Wanrong, it was the first time she had encountered such a scene.
Lin Wanyun felt the same way. She also knew that Chen Wanrong had become Lu Chen's woman, but she hadn't expected the always cold Chen Wanrong, blinded by hatred, to show such a side.
Was this little rascal truly the bane of all women?
As the two beautiful women thought more about it, their faces grew redder. Lin Wanyun then coughed and said, "Yuqin, I'm off to patrol. Don't worry about Chen'er's matters, if he wants the Palace Master to accompany him northward, I'm sure she will agree."
Since Chen Wanrong had already "tussled in bed" with Lu Chen, with their current relationship, it was unlikely that she would refuse to accompany him northward.
Chu Yuqin, with a flushed face, said, "Oh, okay, Sister Lin, you go ahead and busy yourself."
After Lin Wanyun turned and walked towards the other side of the courtyard, Chu Yuqin muttered to herself, "This little rascal, she's the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace after all, how could he do such things to her before nightfall..."
After transferring some of his skill to Chen Wanrong, Lu Chen instantly felt much better. At that moment, he embraced Chen Wanrong as they faced each other candidly.
Having recovered her composure, Chen Wanrong thought about her behavior just moments ago and instantly felt a mix of shame and anger. With a flushed and emotionless face, she said coldly, "You can leave now."
Lu Chen chuckled, his hands continuing to roam recklessly over her body. He laughed and said, "Just now, I don't know who was calling me darling. My dear wife, why have you changed your tune so quickly?"
Chen Wanrong didn't say a word and turned her head away, unwilling to look at the scoundrel before her.
Chen Wanrong felt that if she continued this way, she might well be corrupted. Originally, she had only intended to bear Lu Chen a child, but she hadn't expected some things to be addictive.
This was not a good sign.
Lu Chen then said, "Come on, my dear Rongrong, don't be angry. I truly came to you with a serious matter; I want you to accompany me northward."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong stiffened for a moment, then turned her head to look at Lu Chen and asked, "You want me to help you against the Tianqi King?"
Chen Wanrong was also among the first to know about the Barbarian Tribe's eastern invasion, as it was no small matter. The disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace had immediately told her after reading the news from the Eastern Newspaper Agency.
Lu Chen said, "Yes, although I am also a Grandmaster, I've never fought against another Grandmaster before and lack combat experience. Just to be cautious, I plan to take you with me northward."
Chen Wanrong asked icily, "Do you always like to treat people you seek help from this way?"
Lu Chen, with a smile, said, "It's just that my dear Rongrong is too beautiful, I couldn't help myself. And you should have noticed that I've transmitted a lot of skill to you, further enhancing your power. This is a good thing for you, isn't it?"
Chen Wanrong was silent, knowing that improving her power was naturally a good thing. However, the fact that this guy had done such things to her in broad daylight, causing everyone in the Prince's Mansion to hear it, irked her.
Although her power was sealed at the time, she was very perceptive while Lu Chen was instilling skill into her. Now a Grandmaster, she was well aware of Lin Wanyun and Chu Yuqin's visit to Yunrong Courtyard.
Both of them had heard her voice. The thought alone stirred emotions within Chen Wanrong.
She hadn't minded before because it happened at the Mysterious Moon Tavern, but this time it occured at Yunrong Courtyard, and even Lin Wanyun heard it. She, too, had a sense of shame.
After a while, Chen Wanrong said, "Fine, I will accompany you northward."
Seeing her agreement, Lu Chen smiled and said, "My wife is the best."
As he spoke, Lu Chen leaned in to kiss Chen Wanrong again, but she raised her hand, stopping Lu Chen's mouth, and continued, "If I accompany you northward, it may draw the Elders' attention at the Mysterious Moon Palace. Consider it carefully."
In the North Country, the Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace left Chen Wanrong alone because they saw no danger in her actions.
To the Elders, the North Country was just a remote feudal state with no powerful martial artists, so they allowed her to act freely there.
However, it would be a different matter if Chen Wanrong appeared on the battlefield. If she led the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace to fight against the Barbarian Tribe, and especially against a Grandmaster of the Barbarian Tribe, the Elders, upon knowing it, would surely become agitated.
The Elders would then probably say that she was, after all, the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace and shouldn't be meddling in worldly affairs, let alone putting herself in danger.
Eventually, they may come to the North Country, demanding Chen Wanrong to return to the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Although the Elders didn't want a Grandmaster dictating to them, Chen Wanrong was the disciple of an Honorable, who had already lost one disciple. If another died, specifically the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace, the Elders might be held accountable by the Honorable, and they would certainly intervene.
